A ninth-grader posted made-up stories of students being murdered on Facebook.

A senior made taunting references on Facebook to another kid’s sexual orientation and ethnicity.

A freshman tagged a photo of a nude girl that he falsely identified as a classmate and sent it out to everyone in the school.

These New York City teens were among a growing number of students brought up on disciplinary charges for cyberbullying, a lawyer who defends suspended students told The Post.

In 2010-11, a staggering 623 city schools suspended students for bullying, including cyberbullying, said Department of Education spokeswoman Margie Feinberg.

Experts say the use of social-networking sites and cellphones to torment youngsters has exploded.

“The schoolyard bully of yesteryear has become the cyberbully of the digital age,” said state Sen. Jeff Klein, who plans to introduce legislation to make cyberbullying a misdemeanor akin to stalking, or felony manslaughter if it spurs a victim to commit suicide.
